"What are you talking about?" Negan said impatiently. "The smell of blood. Do you think you're a dog?"
What is this fellow talking about? He doesn't seem to be in his right mind at all. His tone carried a hint of mockery. Most people would not speak to a stranger they met for the first time in such a manner.
If it were any other time, he would be interested in playing with her, but now that escaping from the Sedimentation Bay was his top priority, the best way to deal with an idiot was to make her shut up.
Negan increased the strength on his wrist to convey his thoughts to his elder brother.
But the latter did not let go. "I think … you're probably mistaken. This used to be a port, it's not uncommon to kill and dry fish here. "
"The difference between human blood and the smell of fish is like the difference between heaven and earth." The lady was unmoved. "If there was only one smell, it could be explained by wounds. But the smell of blood on your bodies is too much and too mixed, it's hard to ignore. Some are old, probably a few months old, while some are new, at most two or three days old. They're currently coming out from under your clothes. "
'Under my clothes?'
Negan could not help but be stunned.
To most Knight, a set of light and sturdy armor was the most precious asset. If carefully maintained, it could be passed down for many generations. It was the same for the Murray Family. They had abandoned the desolate land of Everwinter, but they did not abandon their armor and weapons.
In order not to be noticed, the two of them wore large coats and robes. Since it was winter, it was not unusual for them to wear thick clothing. Only when it was time to kill for fun would they go into battle lightly. Other than being more agile, they did not have to worry about blood staining their clothes. After the battle, they only needed to wipe the blood off their armor, and the grease that soaked the armor could also maintain it.
But this should not have been discovered by anyone, so how did the other party know?
Could it be … that she really sniffed it out?
Negan's heart was suddenly filled with unease.
At the same time, the hand that was pressing down on him suddenly loosened.
All he saw was a flash before his eyes, and Talos' figure had already rushed in front of the lady. His elder brother did not draw his weapon. For someone who had trained for a long time, fists, palms, and joints were enough to kill.
The speed of this attack could be said to be as fast as lightning. From the moment he took a step to the moment he attacked, it was only a blink of an eye. If he was the target, it would be very difficult for him to react.
In terms of ability and skill, his eldest brother was definitely one of the best Knight of Everwinter.
Regardless of whether the other party was an idiot, a madman, or someone with an extraordinary sense of smell, he was already a dead man.
However, the sound of the throat bone being crushed did not come. He only heard two soft "peng" sounds.
The woman raised her elbow and pried away the iron arm that was reaching for her throat. Then, she single-handedly received Taros's left punch.
Negan's eyes almost popped out of his head!
How was this possible?
Putting aside fighting techniques, just the difference in strength between a man and a woman was enough to determine everything. Moreover, his elder brother was known for his great strength, and it was the first time he had seen someone receive his attack with one hand!
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged several blows, but Talos was still unable to kill his opponent with a single blow. When they separated again, he finally tore off his robe and pulled out his dagger.
"Brother, let's go together!"
There was a hint of urgency in this low voice.
Only then did Negan realize that as a Knight's elder brother, he had already made the judgment that he could not defeat his opponent by himself.
"Who exactly are you?" He gritted his teeth and pulled out his dagger, bending down beside Taros.
"Who I am isn't important. What's important is that you don't seem to be ordinary refugees. Then, there's a need to explain the reason for your lies." The woman spread out her hands, as though indicating that it was not a problem even if she was empty-handed. "If you surrender now, you might suffer less. However, murder is a serious crime. According to the laws of Graycastle, once the blood on your body is confirmed to be from an innocent person, the only ending for you is death. "
This person … is crazy!
She seemed to be persuading them, but every action and every word she said was forcing them into a dead end. Who would place a dead end in front of them from the very beginning? Since they knew that they would die, it was impossible for them to surrender without putting up a fight. In other words, the other party was forcing them to make a move!
There was no point in saying anything more!
When Taros stabbed forward with his dagger, Negan followed closely behind, suppressing the woman's space to evade. At the same time, it was to prevent her from turning around and escaping.
However, the other party did not seem to have any intention of escaping.
Not only that, she did not even attempt to shout for help. She leaped forward and engaged them in combat.
Only after experiencing it personally did Negan understand how terrifying the other party was.
Every strike of hers was heavy and powerful, requiring the strength of one's entire body to resist. Even if it was a seemingly light block, one had to firmly grasp the handle of the dagger, or else the weapon would be easily knocked away.
He could not imagine how the other party's body could contain such frightening strength.
"Don't hold back, she doesn't pose a threat to us!"
Taros' low roar jolted Negan back to his senses. That's right, they were wearing armor, and the other party did not have any sharp blades in her hands. There was no need to use conventional methods. Even if he took one or two punches, it would not be a big deal. Exchanging injuries for injuries would only be beneficial to them!
He threw the dagger at the woman, and after being easily dodged, he opened his arms and pounced towards the target.
Under normal circumstances, this would undoubtedly be suicidal. But with just her fists and legs, what could she do to him?
Following that, an intense pain exploded on Negan's face.
He felt his nose sinking into his bones, and his throat was filled with the taste of rust. His vision suddenly became blurry.
Damn it, it hurts …
But you're finished!
He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to close his arms. The range was far larger than the dagger and dagger, and if he was hugged, he would definitely die! If he wanted to dodge, he would have to destroy his current defensive stance, and in the process, he would definitely reveal a flaw! He believed that his brother would definitely grasp this opportunity!
Indeed, due to the excessive movement of dodging, the woman's entire body collapsed. Evidently, she no longer had the strength to stop her brother's next step.
Taros took a step forward and swung his sword upwards. A gray light slashed diagonally into the woman's head. The latter's head flew upwards, as though it had been struck by a venomous snake's tongue.
Before he had the time to heave a sigh of relief, the woman who had fallen backwards did not scream out as he had expected, nor did she fall to the ground with her hands covering her face. Instead, she used the momentum of her body to kick out twice, sending him and Taros flying!
Negan even felt that it was not a kick, but a battering ram! With a loud bang, he crashed into the four-wheeled vehicle behind him. The armor on his body was unable to withstand the pincer attack, and the force that entered his body caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
After landing on the ground, the woman regained her balance, and the hood on her head slid down, revealing her smooth long hair and … a pair of pointy furry ears. The only thing he did not see was the wound that he had expected.
Negan's heart instantly sank to the bottom.
That strike that seemed to have struck the woman's head was merely an illusion brought about by the long brim of the hood. The only thing that his brother had sliced open was the woman's hood!
And those inhuman ears …
"Cough cough … You ugly … monster!" Taros clutched his chest as he slowly stood up. "I'm clearly wearing the God's Stone of Retaliation, how could you … not be affected!"
"Because I didn't use my ability." The woman touched her hood regretfully. "As for you saying that I'm ugly, that's just because you have a low level of appreciation. The people of Neverwinter don't think so, and the chief even praised me."
"That's simply — a load of nonsense!" Negan coughed out a mouthful of blood. "My brother is a Knight conferred by the Queen of Everwinter. Even in the King's City Knight Regiment, not many can defeat him! If not for your evil ability, do you think you can defeat my elder brother? Dream on! "
"Is that so? Perhaps you haven't realized … the changes that have happened to your body. " The woman's face darkened. "Let me ask you, the blood on your body, did it come from opponents of equal strength?"
"What … are you trying to say?"
"I don't think so? Although your attacks are ruthless, you lack a sense of sharpness, and the will to fight to the death. " She said slowly. "I've seen too many people like you. Once you've obtained some achievements, you are unwilling to take another step forward. You only dare to turn around and bully the weak in order to maintain your position. Over time, this spirit will seep into your bones and be remembered by your body — No matter how many victories you obtain, it won't make you stronger. "
"And among the opponents I've faced, there are Transcendents who are so strong that they make others despair, and there are also ancient witches who are proficient in various martial arts. This is the difference. Perhaps you guys did possess extraordinary strength in the past, but now … "She paused." You can no longer be considered powerful. "
